Patented Virtual Pivot Point suspension eliminates unwanted compression without limiting bump absorption. The result is plush travel with no pedal-induced compression or lockout and no need for manual lockouts or other compromises.

Made in the USA

Proudly made in the Intense factory in Temecula, California by skilled craftsmen, machinists and welders.

The M9 is the legacy of Intense. Iconic and proven to be a pro caliber downhill racing bike. The bike of choice for the world's fastest racers just keeps getting better.

The M series gravity chassis is perhaps the most celebrated in all of mountain biking. At one point in downhill history, if you weren't riding the original M1 or an M1 rebadged with your own sponsor's logo, you weren't on the podium. The latest incarnation of the M9 carries on that legacy of victory with a vengeance.

An unparalleled degree of adjustability makes the Intense Cycles M9 the ultimate race weapon for any track.

G3 dropouts allow you to fine tune your geometry, wheelbase and chainstay length, and suspension is adjustable between 8.5 and 9.5 inches of smooth, bump-swallowing VPP travel via a flip-chip on the lower link. The leverage ratio of the rear shock is also adjustable via high and low mounting points on the front triangle. A burly 1.5-inch headtube features a pinchbolt to ensure it plays nicely with the top cups of angle-adjust headsets, allowing for even further tweaking.

It all rests within a frame that is an American-made work of aluminum art offering uncanny strength and stiffness.

With two decades of downhill DNA and racing development behind its headbadge, the M9 packs enough go-fast technical superiority to assure that the weakest link on any racecourse will be the rider.

So go ahead, take a gun to a knife fight—swing a leg over an industry icon and let gravity and adrenaline take their course while you race yours.
